    fournitures pour fabriquer un sporran :

    - du cuir, 50 cm x 50 cm suivant bien sûr la taille du sporran (diviser par 2,54 pour obtenir des pouces),
    bien positionner les patrons pour économiser la matière
    - du carton : pour le patron et la découpe du cuir
    - de la colle néoprène
    - du fil de lin ciré

    outillage :

    - un cutter
    - un poinçon à cuir (tu peux prendre un vieux clou, limer la pointe en losange et surtout arrondir les angles pour ne pas déchirer le cuir, le monter sur un manche en bois, un coup de perceuse, un peu de colle et c'est fait)
    - une roulette de couturière (dans tous les magasins d'articles de couture), pour marquer le cuir avant le perçage
    - une bonne aiguille à bout rond ou non
    - un emporte-pièce pour faire des trous plus gros et bien propres, comme des trous de ceinture

    temps de travail :

    environ 12 heures (les coutures sont faites à la main)
    toujours percer les pièces de cuir avant de les coller (voir photos précédentes)

    dimensions du sporran :
    hauteur 18 cm
    largeur 17 cm
    épaisseur 5 cm

    j'espère avoir répondu à vos questions

    translation?

    I got a decent, but not perfect translation by copying the post to babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com/). Readable, at least by someone familiar with the tools, etc. Good luck

    PS: Wonderful Handiwork!!

    Thanks, here is the translation:
    Good, to answer some questions or interrogations (my English is very bad)
    supplies to manufacture a sporran:
    - leather, 50 cm X 50 cm following of course the size of the sporran (to divide by 2,54 to obtain inches), to position the owners well to save the matter
    - paperboard: for the owner and the cutting of leather
    - adhesive neoprene
    - waxed linen thread tools:
    - a cutter
    - a punch with leather (you can take an old nail, file the point in rhombus and especially round the angles not to tear leather, it to assemble on a handle out of wooden, a blow of drilling machine, a little adhesive and it is done)
    - a caster of dressmaker (in all the stores of articles of seam), to mark leather before drilling
    - a good needle with round end or not
    - a punch to make larger and quite clean holes, as of the holes of belt working time: approximately 12 hours (the seams are made with the hand) to always bore the leather parts before sticking them (see preceding photographs)
    dimensions of the sporran: height 18 cm width 17 cm thickness 5 cm
    I hope to have answered your questions

    That's wonderful, thanks for sharing this. If I may ask, what is the weight or thickness of the leather? I want to make a casual day sporran myself, would 3 - 4 oz. leather work?

    1 oz. is equal to 1/64 of an inch in thickness. G*d knows why. metric makes more sense, but tradition will out.
